When I read the question "Do penguins bite" I was reminded of the story of Linus Torvalds saying (jokingly) he was attacked by a

"ferocious penguin that bit me and infected me with a little known disease called penguinitis.

"Penguinitis makes you stay awake at nights just thinking about penguins and feeling great love towards them."

if you can find one of the recent national geographics (the one with a desert mesa and smokestacks on the cover) one of the pages has a penguin standing in the middle of a jungle. This world has like a scavanger hunt for penguins marathon going on!

Ouch, after seeing that bite, I'm gonna stay on your good side, oh fabulously feathered one. =o)

Gotta ask this though. Macaroni penguins? Are they an actual breed, or are you talking about pasta based art? :confused:

It's got the dreadlocks at least. Watch jumping jack flash, the bit where she's in the phone booth being dragged down the street. It's nothing to do with the pic, but it's fun.
